Re: The Christmas 2013 thread
Making our family Christmas cake today 
One of those recipes that was my Dads mothers and her mother and her............. comes from notes made in the late 1800's and has been made by every generation since.
Got the raisins and sultanas soaking in a little bit of tea water and will be in the oven shortly before maturing for a few months with a feed of more booze every few weeks (just a small cap full drizzled in to pin pricks).
My son will be stood on a stool and making a wish as he stirs it shortly just as I used to do 30 odd years ago

Re: The Christmas 2013 thread
I'm anticipating a complete family Christmas gathering for the first time in many years with my UK based brother and family coming out for a Christmas holiday. I have already bought and put away one of those Heston orange christmas pudding thingo's (there's no way I could make one of them.)

. Actually, I think my bro is just stressed about getting him and his here but we, here, are excited.

I love, love, love Christmas!
This will be my first Aussie one so will have to look at some starting some new traditions.
